One of the primary challenges for the design of the FAIR synchrotrons at GSI Darmstadt is the high current operation close to the stability limits, with small tolerable beam losses. Collective instabilities are a potential limiting factor for the performance of the rings. We discuss results of experimental and numerical investigations of transverse collective beam behavior in the SIS 18 synchrotron. Also damping mechanisms in the presence of space charge, including the linear Landau damping and decoherence due to nonlinearities are discussed. These are the essential factors to define impedances budgets for the GSI synchrotrons. As a computational tool accounting the beam nonlinear dynamics with impedances and self-consistent space charge, the particle tracking code PATRIC is used.
